Did anyone watch the All-Access matchup last week on FS1 between Xavier and St. John's? Remarkable stuff. Hope they do more. One thing was clear to me: Sean Miller is a much, much, much more engaging coach than Mike Anderson.
During the timeouts, Anderson would always start out lightly chatting with his assistants. Then he would join the team huddle and speak with the players. Energy seemed kind of low. Felt like his speeches were more on platitudes than specific assignments.
Quite a contrast to Sean Miller, who goes straight for the team huddle. He's barking commands even when they're up 18 points; you would have thought the game was tied. The players were talking with one another. If I were a recruit deciding between Xavier and St. John's, I'd be ready to commit to Xavier that same day.
